Fly by night roofers post hurricane are a legit concern. The risk of a complete failure are low, but I have seen poor jobs where a substantial part of the shingles and decking has to be removed and replaced.
A possible solution is reciprocal licensing with a supplement demonstrating knowledge and best practices for wind mitigation and hurricane code, as well as a robust bond for failure to complete work to professional standards.
